The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Center for Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships (CFBNP) is an office located in the Office of Public and Intergovernmental Affairs (OPIA). The CFBNP was initially established on June 1, 2004, by Executive Order 13342 and most recently re-established on February 14, 2021, by Executive Order 14015.
The VA Center for Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships participates in numerous outreach events nationwide to partner with organizations that serve our nation’s Veterans. During partnership events, we bring a broad spectrum of VA resources and information through breakout sessions that include Veteran E-Benefits, survivors assistance, Veteran homelessness, the opioid epidemic, and suicide prevention training by a trained VA Suicide Prevention Coordinator (SPC). We need your organization’s assistance to reach the 24.4 million Veterans nationwide by partnering with us to host an event through volunteering, coordinating clergy-specific suicide prevention training, or learning how to establish a Veterans Welcome Center or ministry.
